What should the world do - Stand back and leave that bastard Saddam in power?

Though the motives of US/K may be self-interested, what should the world do - stand back and leave that bastard Saddam in power? Leave him there for another few decades to slaughter, terrorise, brutalise and torture his own people. Then die and hand power onto his sons and leave them do the same for the next few decades?

Anti-war people have got to put their justified hatred of US/K to one side, and think about what the people of Iraq want.

Do anti-war people even "consider" the "possibility" that this war "may" be the right thing to do for the Iraqi people, in order to get rid of that brutal tyrant?

3 out of 4 Americans support the war. Support for the war in Britain and for Blair has risen to 60/70%. There is at least some case for this war.

Indymedia is a good site but it suffers from the same flaws that ye anti-war people criticize the right wing media of – i.e. the right wing press promotes right wing ideology in a biased way – by a similar token Indymedia promotes left wing ideology in a biased way. This site needs more interaction with right wing ideology in order to become a balanced news source with balanced debate.
